Mr.. EDITOR:
I thought / would send you few
lines to inform your readers of our
church work here.
I came here last August and found
the people worshiping in an old dilapi-
dated building, and at once set to work
to build new church. God favored
me and now we have nice two story
brick building almost completed. We
have raised about 81 800 and the work
is moving on nicely.
The ladies of the church gave fair
recently and Melted $145.OO. They also
gave an entertainment week or two
ago which cleared $50. They also gave
me two pound parties for which they
have my grateful thanks The dear
people here are very kind to us and
make every thing as pleasant as can be
for which we are very grateful.
Yours,
w. r.. ALEXANDER

The Tennessee legislature has passed
a bill, pensioning all ex-Confederate
and ex-Federal soldiers belonging to
the State who have lost limbs and have
not yet received pensions from the
federal government. This is plainly
very slightly disguised scheme to re-
ward treason. The "last ditch" has
not as yet been reached and the rebels
are still fighting.

Mr.. Bayard Again.

If ever the members of cabinet were
continually in hot water, this is the exact
case with those constituting President
Cleveland's board of Secretaries. The
bunders which have been committed by
each and all are sufficient to forever term
This cabinet the "blundering cabinet" 1t
is Mr.. Bayard's turn now to be conspicu-
Gus for errors capable of the severest
criticism and justly so too. He feels the
keen edge of adverse judgment and, smart
ing under its application, seeks to ward Oft
deep thrusts, by denying that such things
are as reported. His latest blunder is his
denial that he had ever given Sir James
FERGUSON authority in any way, shape or
manner, tor the English Secretary's an
nouncement to Parliament, that the
United States government had issued
orders to release the sealers captured in
the Alaska seas and to desist from further
capturing English vessels infringing upon
the fishing territory of the United States.
This is in fact, a blunder upon blunder.
Without assuming that Sir James Fergus
son is not Liable to mistakes, and it is very
evident that he had some grounds for
making his announcement to Parliament,
it is the most fatal course Mr. Bayard
could have taken. He denies, when he
should have explained, Just what assur-
ances he did give the English Government,
Tor that he did furnish some grounds for
Sir Fergusson's statement goes without
proof Bayard's desire to please the
English Government has been too con-
spicuous for some time. The shortest,
safest course tor the Secretary would have
been frank explanation, but this from His
Infallible Highness should not be ex-
pected.

The Chicago Anarchists.

Not by the city of Chicago alone mas the
decision of the Illinois Supreme Court in
the appeal of the condemned anarchists
been awaited with anxiety, but by the
whole country, the people Of which are
now so seriously considering the questions
and dangers arising from the presence OF
so SO many enemies to the institutions OF
society. The decision although it may
vet be annulled bv the United States
Supreme Court by granting a sup
ersedeas, is matter that affords
considerable satisfaction to all. 1t is very
gratifying to feel that in the law and its
opponents there are yet to be found
sources of safety, and defences tor the
rights Of citizens. 1t is also a matter
upon which the people should congratu-
late themselves, that they have
50 far upheld law and order
against the attacks OF anarchy and dis
order. The case of the Chicago anarchists
is precedent established in the attempts
to suppress those evils whlcn aiready
threaten our social fabric. The effect of
this decision will doubtless be double; it
will inspire confidence in the power OF
government, and 1t will demonstrate to all
who would destroy the institutions so care
fully established here, that efforts to over
throw them will be dealt with, as is trea-
son. Though revengeful spirit may be
displayed for time by those who are in
timately connected with the condemned
prisoners. different attitude will prob
ably succeed the anger awakened by their
disappointment in their efforts to release
their comrades. Should resort again be
had to riot and murder, the offenders
should again find the strong arm OF the
law and be made to pay penalty equal to
the crime.
